Call for Partnership
Build the ecosystem
with us.
Join sixonefour labs in bridging the critical gap between academic theory and the applied AI skills demanded by high-performance engineering teams.
sixonefour labs is launching a residency program to build the next generation of AI-native engineers in Vietnam. To do this effectively, we rely on a strong ecosystem of partners.
For engineers who ship outcomes. Not just code.
The learner profile
We select learners to ensure parity and high-impact delivery.
Early Career Professionals
1 to 5 years of professional experience.
STEM Graduates
Final-year students or fresh graduates with strong coding fundamentals.
Verified Competence
Every learner must pass a live screen proving they can write and debug code without AI assistance.
The exit profile
By the time they deliver your MVP or use your tooling, they will be trained as:
AI Orchestrators
Designing multi-step AI workflows: spec, code, tests, deploy.
Quality Guardians
Using Test-Driven Generation to set absolute boundaries for AI.
Product Owners
Making evidence-based decisions using the DVF framework.
We are seeking three distinct types of partners to integrate into our curriculum.
Business Partners
Share a business problem and provide mentorship in exchange for a developed scope of work and first access to our talents.
02Technology Partners
Provide access and consultation to assure our next generation of AI-ready engineers will be future advocates for your platforms and technologies.
03Training Partners
Share knowledge, help align the curriculum with actual business needs, and get first access to our talents.
We don't teach using toy projects.
The AskWe need real, messy business problems. We are targeting 6 forward-thinking organizations across Vietnam and Singapore to hand over a slice of their product backlog to a dedicated team of 3 to 4 engineering residents.
Sponsor commitments
- 01Real Problems
Provide an actual, unsolved business problem.
- 02Mentorship
Commit 1 hour per week to provide business context and mentorship.
- 03Validation
Help validate technical approaches and enable customer validation.
- 04Talent
Provide selected top graduates with direct interviews with hiring managers.
- 05Showcase
Assess the final outcomes, metrics, and MVP during the showcase.
What business partners get back.
Early Talent Access
Get a 10-week, risk-free working interview with ambitious, vetted engineers. You get first access to hire graduates who already understand your product, stack, and business context.
Zero-Cost MVP
Have a feature of a real product scoped, built, tested, and deployed to a UAT environment by a dedicated team, without committing any of your own engineering budget.
Low Overhead
We handle all technical mentorship, infrastructure, and agile management. Your only requirement is 1 hour a week to provide business direction and feedback.
They need the best tools to do it.
The AskWe are building the next generation of AI orchestrators, and we are seeking dedicated partnerships with cloud providers, AI providers, and development tools.
Evangelism
Embed your tool directly into the daily workflow of high-potential engineers.
Association
Co-branding on curriculum materials and public showcase events in Ho Chi Minh City.
Feedback Loops
Gain direct usage feedback from developers navigating complex AI orchestrations.
Talent Access
Get first access to hire graduates who already understand your product and stack.
Deep dives from the people who built the tools.
The AskWe partner with subject matter experts to deliver deep dives on specialized tools and workflows. This is a volunteer, pro-bono partnership designed for organizations and experts seeking brand exposure, tool promotion, and direct recruitment access.
Tool Training
Deliver official training for tools like Cursor, Antigravity, or Codex directly to our cohort.
E-Sessions
Lead 1 to 2 hour remote sessions on specialized topics like Data Engineering or Cloud Security.
Mock Interviews
Provide active engineers to conduct technical and product mock interviews in Week 9.
Project Mentorship
Guide student teams as they scope and build real-world MVPs using defined tech stacks.
Let's talk
The inaugural Ho Chi Minh City cohort launches September 2026. Whether you have a backlog of ideas you want built, or tools you want adopted, we have the talent ready. Reach out to schedule a discovery call.
